As a long-standing defence partner to the United States, Boeing brings decades of experience in integrating air, space, and ground-based systems into advanced architectures. The company also produces sophisticated airborne early warning and control systems used to detect potential threats.
Boeing continues to build and support missile defence systems designed to protect the U.S., its service members, civilians, and vital infrastructure across the globe. It also deploys satellites to enhance flexible and resilient communications capabilities.
Through its work on the F-15EX fighter aircraft, Boeing delivers industry-leading range, payload, speed, and electronic warfare capabilities to support U.S. air superiority and homeland defence. The company is also a key player in the development of integrated networked defence architectures and multidomain sensing technologies.
Boeing serves as the prime contractor and lead systems integrator for Ground-based Midcourse Defense, which protects the U.S. against long-range ballistic missile threats. It co-develops the Arrow-3 and Arrow-2 interceptors, central to Israel’s long-range missile defence, and manufactures components for the Aegis Standard Missile-3 system for sea-based ballistic missile defence.
The company is also producing record numbers of world-class seekers used in Patriot interceptors, designed to defeat hypersonic threats, hostile aircraft, and various missile types. In addition, Boeing develops directed energy and kinetic air defence solutions for lower-tier threats.
Through Millenium Space Systems, Boeing is advancing space-based sensing capabilities such as the Missile Track Custody and FOO Fighter satellite programmes. These efforts support real-time data collection and improved situational awareness in space.
Boeing’s focus on innovation includes investment in digital engineering and open system architectures to streamline production and accelerate development through sustainment. The company is also enhancing long-range sensing, AI-driven data fusion, and advanced networking for faster and more efficient threat responses.
Its Virtual Warfare Centers provide advanced modelling and simulation to support operational training and real-time decision-making. Meanwhile, Boeing’s Phantom Works division leads cutting-edge research and prototyping to address complex defence challenges.
“Boeing is uniquely positioned to help the U.S. make its vision of a dynamic next-gen homeland defense capability a reality,” the company stated. This ambition reflects Boeing’s commitment to remain at the forefront of modern national security initiatives.
